• Game Update v6.1.0 - 19 August 2026

  Commanders and supporting artillery now behave more consistently throughout the Gettysburg scenarios. Generals caught alone will withdraw towards safety when enemy troops approach. Infantry can change formation while sharing a hex with an unattached general or artillery battery. Artillery batteries attach correctly, while generals arriving as reinforcements retain their command abilities.

  The v6.0.0 major update for Civil War: Gettysburg is here, focusing on mission reliability and long-standing scenario scripting issues. Gettysburg - Master Edition no longer ends prematurely during the first day of battle.

Obsolete mission scripting has been removed from the tutorials and Gettysburg - Day Two, alongside broader stability and general gameplay fixes.
